cramping all day 39 weeks *****SHES HERE =)******

[ciz]

Hi. Just wondered if this is all good. Iv been having cramps in my lower abdomen since yesterday morning. Started off ok bit like very strong period cramps. They havent been regular some 5min then 20 min intervals. They last from 30secs to 1min. As day went on they are getting a little stronger but not much.

Pretty sure i havent lost my mucus plug yet. My due date is this thursday coming. What do you think?

And just to say day before yesterday i had lots pressure in my bum. Went to toilet afew times.

Sounds like it could be the start of things. I'd do some walking/squats to see if that helps things any.

Im almost 38 weeks and i have been getting daily cramping for the past 3 weeks... Can sometimes be quite intense... And i often have the urge to go to toilet for a no2... And nothing happens.

Its driving me nuts now. Hope it means something cant bare having them for potentially another 4 weeks!

Hope something happens for you

All my cramping seems to come in the evening and I expect to be woken up in the night with full-on contractions, but it never happens!

Well im pretty sure im in labour but its very slow. Iv been having contractions now for 2 days. This morning they were painful and coming every 5minutes lasting 30 sec/1min. So i was told to ring up hospital. First time i rang i was told to take paracetamol hot bath see how i am in hour. So i let 2 hours go by still no change 5mins between each 1. Rang again and basically because my waters havent gone and they want my contractions to be 3 minutes apart im to stay home. So all morning till 3 this afternoon iv been moaning into a pillow with pain every 5 minutes but then my contractions started coming half hour/20mins instead of 5mins. Only till now they coming 10mins. Im so tired. Surely i thought they should be checking up on me to see how im going?

just an update. its now 4 days iv been in labour. YES 4 DAYS! im exhausted. we went into hospital last night as my contractions were 2 to 3 minutes apart. thought finally we going somewhere.... she had a feel of the baby and bub is head down but facing left which makes labour last longer....just my luck... I asked midwife to examine me to see if there was any progress on my cervix. straight away she said ooh i can feel top of babies head but you are only 1cm dilated....to me this was amazing news that all my pain and sleepless nights werent in vain. my cervix had gone very soft and was primed for stretching more as most of the hard work had been done making it soft etc. so got some lovely tablets to help ease the pain, got sent home to try and get some sleep. today i lost my mucus plug after some very long and painful contractions but they werent regular...so after a while they gradually slowed right down and less intense... more of the waiting game. still havent lost my waters either.
